100HR YIN YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

About us

How does the ancient wisdom of yoga philosophy & spiritual inquiry translate tangibly into our practice of modern yoga asana?

As we unravel that which is repressed and stuck in our bodymind, what are the practical tools to help us be with what arises and liberate us from suffering to Self Realization? What is the path to ‘awakening’ really all about?

· Learn how your body, mind & spirit are connected via these energy pathways, and discover how to meet and align all dimensions of your being directly in your practice, influencing not only physical butmental, emotional & spiritual health.

. Learn the specific therapeutic benefits of each yin asana & how to most effectively practice, sequence & teach classes for each of the organ systems.

· Learn practical mindfulness tools to meet the internal and external challenges of life, as gateways for transformation and awakening.

This 2-week immersion offers a holistic map and practical pathway for potentialising freedom and liberation within ourselves, and in turn, assists the development of direct teaching tools to support and guide our students.

This 100hr module, is a complete & thorough study unto itself, or may be a contributing module to the TNYT 500hr RYT Advanced Yoga Teacher Training Programme.
